I agree. Actually the real problem is that the file is already
"scheduled" for removing but it will not be done before you access the
Install Tool. So maybe the file removal should be integrated in
typo3/init.php instead?

True. Now by copying the removal code from typo3/install/index.php to
typo3/init.php this would be considerated, so nothing would need to be
changed in class.t3lib_befunc.php.

What do you think?
